MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Installation Guide 2 ADT MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Quick Installation Guide 1 Introduction This section provides information about the MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera's features, components and capabilities. 1.1 Feature Overview The MDC845 is a Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera with FHD resolution and 802.11ac Wi-
Fi connectivity intended for use with both ADT Control and Pulse. Standalone Design. The camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU and video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to the network (customer router for Control or ADT Pulse gateway). Dual Video Support. The MDC845 supports H.264 and MJEPG video compression. Day/Night Switch. With the day/night switching feature, you can view and record images even at night. IR LED Support. The two infrared (IR) LEDs can provide illumination for up to 5 meters/16 feet, providing superior video quality under low-light conditions. Built-in Heater. The built-in heater ensures that the camera operates even in extremely cold climates. The heater turns on when the temperature falls below -4F (-20C). 802.11ac Support. The 802.11ac standard provides backward compatibility with the 802.11 a/b/g/n standards. Supports Soft AP, WPS PIN, and Wired Enrollment. Software-enabled Access Point (Soft AP) connectivity is used on the Control platform. Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN (WPS PIN) uses a push button and PIN to connect to the Pulse platform. Both platforms support wired enrollment. Wireless and Wired Operation. The MDC845 operates either wired or wirelessly. 1.2 Physical Details MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Installation Guide 3 ADT MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Quick Installation Guide Component Power Port LAN Port Status LED WPS/Reset/Image Flip Button Lens Description The red and black flying leads connect to the terminal block, which attaches to a power cable (not supplied) and power adapter. Connect the supplied 12V power adapter. Do not use other power adapters; doing so may damage the camera. Use a standard Ethernet cable (not included) to connect the LAN port to either the customers router or the Pulse gateway. Off: Unit does not have power. On: (Blue) Unit is booting up then LED will blink blue ten times indicating the boot-up process is complete. Blinking: (Green/Amber) The power LED blinks green/amber after initial startup is completed. This indicates that the Soft AP OR WPS PIN mode is ready. On: (Green) Camera is connected to the network. Blinking: (Green) Camera has lost connection to the network Blinking: (Amber) Unit is in WPS PIN mode and/or the WPS connection is in progress. On: (Amber) If the LED is on for 5 seconds and then turns off, the WPS function has failed. This button serves three functions on the camera. WPS PIN Mode: When pressed and held for 5 seconds during the Pulse enrollment process, the camera creates an encrypted secure wireless connection. Reset: When pressed and held for 15 seconds, the camera reboots and settings are restored to default values. Image Flip Button: When double-clicked, the image rotates 180. The lens is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Please ensure that the lens cover remains clean of dust and debris. Built-in infrared LEDs for night time illumination. This is a hardware sensor to detect daylight level or lux. Built-in microSD card slot for future enhancements. IR LED Light Sensor Micro SD Card Slot Note: Because the microSD card slot is not currently functional, please do not remove this protective cover. Note: Plugging in the Ethernet cable disables the wireless interface. Only one interface can be active at any time. Note: The Ethernet cable should be connected or disconnected only when the camera is powered off. Attaching or detaching the Ethernet cable while the camera is powered on does NOT switch the interface between wired and wireless.

While the MDC845 is water resistant, it is must to limit direct exposure to Install the MDC845 under a building overhang to ensure the least amount of exposure to the elements. The camera is only to be connected to PoE networks without routing to outside plants. 2.2 Power Up The green terminal block separates into two sides (male / female). Insert the red and black flying leads from the cameras power cord into the female side of the terminal block (see figure below). Secure both wires by tightening the screws on the terminal block. Similarly, secure both wires from one end of the power cable (not included) into the male side of the terminal block, ensuring that like-colored wires
(red and black) are aligned with those just installed. Secure both wires from the other end of the power cable onto the appropriate (+ and ) screw terminals of the power adapter. Plug the power adapter into an AC power outlet. Caution: Use the power adapter provided. Using a different power adapter may result in hardware damage. MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Installation Guide 6 ADT MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Quick Installation Guide Caution: To avoid damaging the camera, be sure to observe proper polarity. Although the + and terminals are marked on the power adapter, they are white on white and may be difficult to see. 2.3 Final Steps Check LED status
- The LED lights up solid blue and then blinks ten times during startup, which takes about 30 seconds. After startup is completed, and prior to enrollment, the power LED blinks green/amber. Network connections
- If you are using a wired connection to the MDC845, prior to powering up, connect a standard Ethernet cable (not included) from the LAN port of the camera cable to either the device LAN port on the Pulse Gateway or directly to the customers router for Control.
- If you are using a wireless connection to the MDC845, this step is performed during enrollment.

You should ensure that the camera is configured and enrolled in the platform before permanently mounting it. Locate an unused, non-switchable, indoor outlet to plug the AC/DC power adapter into. This outlet should be located as close as possible to the location where the camera will be permanently mounted. Caution: Do not plug in the power adapter until all the connections are completed and the camera is fully mounted. Identify the location where you would like to mount the camera. Using the mounting template included in the box as a guide, drill three mounting holes into the ceiling. If you have not done so already, use the L tool to remove the three screws and the bubble from the camera. If using the anchors, insert them into the mounting holes. Align the three mounting holes of the camera stand with the three drilled holes, and then mount the camera stand onto the ceiling using the provided screws. Note: It is recommended that you route the cable through the side opening of the mounting base. Make the camera angle adjustments. The camera offers 3 axis adjustments:
MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Installation Guide 23 ADT MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Quick Installation Guide
- Loosen the Tilt Adjust Screw to adjust the tilt angle (0~70).

Attach the bubble to the camera, and then secure it using the three screws. MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Installation Guide 24 ADT MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera Quick Installation Guide Note: Use the alignment marks to properly align the camera and bubble while attaching them together. Caution: Make sure to tighten up the three screws in order to prevent water ingress. Caution: Be careful not to let the bubble cover the light sensor or damage the LVDS cable while attaching the bubble to the camera. Make sure that the camera is firmly secured to the ceiling. Connect the power cable as described in Section 2.2: Power Up. Remove the retaining screw from the receptacle plate and plug the power adapter into the lower power outlet. Insert the retaining screw through the opening at the top of the power adapter and reinstall it into the receptacle, securing the adapter to the wall. Verify that the camera is active on the wireless network and is recognized by the platform.
